The blue wallpaper and accessories in that one are so dreadful. I can almost forgive the bidet because it was obviously put in ages ago, but that living room looks recent.

The urns by the front door are a bit of a giveaway that it will be awful before you even go in.

The living room is fully hideous. I'm also perplexed by the roundish bed - I assume you'd have to sleep alone in it or your feet would dangle over the edge.

I surveyed a house once with an actual round bed in it. It was so odd.

Maybe it's for guests they don't like.

I'm trying to work out what's going on in the garden. Behind the round stone wall. It looks like a conservatory for midgets.

It's a dungeon for the Weeping Angels who've escaped into photo 17. Why are they lined up like that?

The co-ordinating blue is just horrible.

The Glasgow flat owners have certainly gone for full on Victoriana with added TVs.

That Frome house could be so lovely, without the country style meets Phil and Kirsty features meets 90s leather chairs. In picture 13, the loo roll holder has been mounted so close to the towel rail that it looks as though the loo roll is actually hung on the towel rail!
It’s like a normal midlife crisis only with more chandeliers and foreign languages.

I'm sure I've looked at that house before and they used to describe the sun room as "the Florida room". Every year they have a big clear out and fill their drive with crap they're trying to sell. Then they put the house on the market with a new estate agent and then at some point quietly take it off the market again.

I rather love the decor of this 70s house. I don't think I'd keep it though

The bathroom :mog:

That's not a bad price for a house in that area, is it? I know there's lots of work to be done, but it seems like a nice house under the avocado.

It is a good price although wild horses wouldn't drag me to live in Bearsden :lol:

I don't know much about it really, other than it's posh (or likes to think it is, whichever). :))

Parts are very posh, some parts are average-y but it's pretty much dullsville suburbia :))
